Media Council
Taps New Editors
By CAITL1N JEFFREY
And LISA GALTEN .
For only the third time in its history, the University Media
Council has chosen a woman to head the San Francisco
Foghorn. On March 20th, the Media Council chose sophomore Cathleen O'Donnell as editor-in-chief for the 1987-88
academic year.
Junior Julie Sullivan was reappointed editor of the Don yearbook
for another term. KDNS-AM. after
two years under the leadership of
senior John Bergeron, was turned
over to sophomore Shivani
Ramachandra.
O'Donnell faced a crowded field
of five other candidates, but the
Council, after an hour's consideration, chose her.
Cathleen O'Donnell
"I've worked hard to reach this
point in my career," said O'Donnell. "It's been hard work for myself and the staff, but the knowledge that they supported me made
the decision to run that much
easier."
The editor-elect received nothing but praise from current
editor-in-chief, R. Erick Pecha,
who stated that "I have no doubts
that Cathleen can uphold the All-
American tradition that the entire
staff has worked so hard for in
recent years."
O'Donnell stressed balance in
her presentation to the Council,
stating the need for "a concerted
effort to meet the needs of the entire campus, and represent the diversity present at USF."
"Next year's Foghorn holds
much promise for another important aspect ofthe newspaper's mission at USF — to report occurrences accurately and in a timely
manner."
O'Donnell has served as production manager of the Foghorn
almost two years, as well as managing editor of the Symposium, an
on-campus literary publication.
While in high school in Los
Angeles, she worked at Twin Circle Publishing Company.
Sullivan, originally from Whid-
bey Island, Washington, has
worked on the Don since her
freshman year. Under her rein, the
yearbook has been chosen as a
sample book for its publication
company, Taylor Publishing.

The Great Quake? . . .
No, just oft-delayed destruction of Loyola Hall that finally began last week. The former St. Ignatius High
School is being knocked down to make way for the Koret Health and Recreation Center. Demolition will last
until the end of the semester, with construction slated to begin the end of June.
New Procedures
Old Registration Cancelled

Under a new registration system
to be implemented this semester,
students will immediately receive
their fall schedules when they walk

course demands of students.
The new system, developed by
Academic Services Dean Patrick
Woods and his staff in cooperation
with college deans, offers only one
registration period for the fall
semester. Registration will begin
April 20 — the first day back from
spring break — and will end May
8.
Students have been assigneil a
registration hour based on the
number of units they have completed, with upperclass students
receiving priority.
Although students can register
anytime after their assigned time
slot, as the process continues they
will run the risk of being unable to
enter closed classes. Hours for registration will be 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday, and 3
p.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays.

it will need to be done by May 8
There will be no arena registration
in the fall; students who fail to
register before the May 8 deadline
will have to register after classes
begin and pa> a hefty $65 late
registration fee.
Students leaving registration
will have a good idea what their tall
schedules will Ik* but low section
enrollment and changes to faculty
availability could cause sonic classes to be cancelled. In this case.
students will be notified of thc cancellation on their bursar bill and

after classes have begun on August
31.
The University is dropping its
$10 add/drop fee next fall but advisor, instructor, and dean signatures will still be needed for

PFM Employee
By EDWARD MCFADDEN
When Mike Thomason graduated from
Wallenberg School, his teachers knew
Mike was ready to begin working in the
"outside world."
Thomason, who currently works for
Professional Food Management as a food
server in the UC Commons, is a 21.year old
developmental ly disabled person.
Mike participated in a program at Wallenberg which helped him to look for a job,
prepare for the interview, and then train for
the position.
"They (the program) tried to find a job in
the field Mike was interested in." said
Mike's aunt Pat Thomason. "He expressed
Interest in the restaurant business, and Mike
was able to get the job at USF."
Pat Hoegge, a professional social
worker, helped Mike to find his job, but
Mike did the rest. "Mike is a very independent person. He went to the interview for
the job and sold himself to PFM on his
ability and dedication." Ms. Thomason
told the Foghorn.
Kathy Hansen. Director of Operations
for PFM is pleased with Mike's performance. ""Mike is a dedicated worker. He's
never missed a day. He comes in and does a
real good job every day."
Every weekday morning Mike "gets up
and eats breakfast" before heading to the
Hilltop to help USF students with their
lunch in the U.C. Commons.
"He would have liked a full time job.
instead of just lunch," Ms Thomason said,
"but he keeps himself busy."
After work, Mike works out, "I goto the
"Y" and lift weights and go for a swim." He
also goes to the Richmond District
Neighborhood Center, where he previously
worked as a maintenance and landscaping
worker. -

But. others aren't so sure Mike isn't
ready for bigger and better things. "Mike's

learn. When he does something, he does it
very thoroughly," Mike's aunt said. "He
